I would have done it sooner, but I kept procrastinating because I thought it'd be so hard to do because the animation had so many frames, and cutting the frame rate wouldn't do it justice. It turned out to be much easier than I feared, though it still took some time because the animation still has 99 frames.

Wow, the sync on this is really screwy, at least in Firefox. Yesterday, the way the loop was, the sound was faster than the animation, so after a few iterations the "boomshakalaka" would come while the guy was still hanging in the air. Today it's the other way around for me, with it the animation being faster and the "boomshakalaka" coming later and later. But I hadn't changed a thing.

Yes, because making a mistake in a sports competition and sustaining painful but relatively minor injuries as a result is on the same level as the death of thousands of people at the hands of terrorists.

This is different than 9/11 in that Jake knew the risks when he fell. He was pulling off an incredibly risky trick right before he was forced to bail. If someone had malevolently pushed him off his board, it wouldn't be funny and we wouldn't be making sites about it.
